Winter 2003

As I listen to the morning sounds of a rooster crowing at the rising sun, hummingbirds hovering near the feeder, and hot water bubbling in the kettle, I consider the “sounds” of the things that I cannot “hear.” What are the unique frequencies of my blood and organs, the glass of water on the desk, or the plant growing on the windowsill?

I am at Sound Wave Energy in Colorado, a unique business that recently celebrated its 10th year. This oasis is in the high desert among rock, cactus and cedar pine. It has three yurts, a chicken coop, a building for business and cooking, and a “growing dome” — a maze of pipes and pumps with a pond of tilapia fish, and growing beds for vegetables. “Everything in the universe is composed of energy that vibrates at a certain frequency,” explains Nicole LaVoie, the founder and director of Sound Wave Energy. She relates that “when specific sound waves are in tune with the energetic parts of us, our mind, body, and spirit, we are in optimum health.” This explains why the sound system fills the dome with low frequencies and results in larger than normal fish and vegetables that grow only with the “sounds” of nutrients and a misting of distilled water.

Nicole LaVoie believes that the proper frequencies of sound can restore the body, mind, emotions and spirit to balance and harmony. She is a pioneer in the field of frequencies and the profound effect they may have on the body. She explains:

“If you have two violins tuned exactly the same way and pluck only the string of one violin, the other violin – even if it is at the other end of the room – will start to vibrate because they resonate with each other. The unhealthy organ is like a violinist who has forgotten his sheet music and forgets what tune to play. When you send the right frequency to the organ, it reminds the cells what to do. It’s like a wakeup call, ‘Hey, wake up and do your job.’”

Ms. LaVoie, a diminutive and delightful French-Canadian, describes her personal and professional journey in Return to Harmony (Sound Wave Energy Press). The first part of the book recounts her life as a wife, mother and x-ray technician of 20 years. She confronts divorce, a child with physical ailments, a near-death experience, and her own physical challenges of injuries, osteoporosis and arthritis. She then describes her quest of enlightenment through experiencing her personal “Music of the Spheres,” which takes her in the direction of alternative healing modalities through sound and music.

Ms. LaVoie’s experience with frequencies, especially the “right” frequencies, began years ago, as she began “hearing” a soft, distant melody similar to that of violins and voices. After searching everywhere for the source of the “music,” she realized that she was the source. Her search to find understanding for the music she was experiencing led her to a workshop on sacred geometry, where she learned the relationship between geometry and sound. Human vertebrae weight has a direct ratio as that of the chromatic scale. Perfect alignment and perfect health creates a perfect vibration. This vibration and sound forms music. It was at this workshop that she heard the same music she had been hearing in her own mind.

Sound Wave Energy’s recordings (now numbering fifty-nine) are explained in Part Two of Return to Harmony. These recordings assist in raising the frequency of our organs, glands, muscles and bones to a healthy balance. Working even on a cellular level, many of the frequencies will help the chakras by giving them the building blocks they need to be healthy (frequencies of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and hormones which balance the endocrine system.) It is believed that these recordings may accelerate healing because they contain frequencies that assist our spiritual, mental and emotional aspects.

Ms. LaVoie feels that she is guided to produce these recordings. Her focus for this work is unconditional love, which she views as the vibration of healing, Love is the beginning and the end. Love is the key—it is balance. If we can bring the body into a balanced state, if we can give to the body everything it needs to be balanced, we can start to make corrections needed to change belief systems and remove lower emotions of fear and doubt. She notes that the recordings “were created to empower the individual person so that they could provide unconditional love to themselves.” Nicole further explains that the recordings “can develop awareness and remove resistance, which is often at the spiritual level” and suggests that the frequencies can alter one’s thinking.

The second part of Return to Harmony introduces the “Soul Note,” a physical representation of a frequency, which can be hummed, chanted or sung and is central to Nicole’s process for healing. “Everything we do is even more powerful when we recognize our soul note”, Ms. LaVoie explains. When a person has been guided by a trained Harmonist to discover their soul note, they become more centered and connected to their inner being. This service must be done in person and at this time there are only eight Harmonists in the world.

Nicole’s vision for the future of Sound Wave Energy, includes a Center for Sound and Light, a Research and Conference Center, an Awareness Center and a residence. It is Nicole’s hope that many people will co-create this place and come to study and apply the benefits of the healing modalities of sound frequencies, light, color, crystals, geometric shapes, water and aroma, allowing the individual to experience higher levels of physical, mental, emotional health and increased spiritual awareness.
